Unless you mean in some place far south of New York - perhaps VA or farther south, there probably won't be much to check in NY until at least very late Friday with the forecasted timing and track of hurricane "Earl". The morning most folks in NY will likely think to look (in NY) will be as early as possible this Saturday - with eastern Long Island possibly closest to the best (or worst, if one has real concerns for personal safety & property of everyone out that way) this storm may offer in terms of storm-blown and driven sea-or-'southern' birds...
The whole thing may just be less than some anticipate... but there also may be some significant sights - and there's only one way to find out... just be out there (anywhere), looking. Stay safe - use common sense in any major storms. It's not worth loss of life or an injury to see any bird.
